Annotation	From April 1996, health authorities in England implemented new local policies to clarify their responsibilities for funding continuing health care. This article describes the findings from a study by the City University commissioned by one London health authority to evaluate the implementation of the part of their policy relevant to the placement of older people in fully NHS-funded continuing inpatient care. The findings cover arrangements for care in the individual units, characteristics of residents, and progress of residents since placement. (AKM).
